DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención pretende solucionar alguno de los problemas mencionados en el estado de la técnica. Más en concreto, la presente invención describe una prenda protectora destinada a proteger la cabeza de un deportista, que comprende una banda anular configurada para rodear la cabeza del deportista desde una porción frontal que cubre la frente del deportista hasta una porción trasera que cubre una porción trasera del cráneo, donde la porción frontal comprende, al menos, una capa exterior o una capa interior dotada de un material elástico o viscoelástico adaptado para deformarse bajo el impacto con un balón, permitiendo así reducir la deformación de dicho balón durante un cabezazo. The present invention aims to solve some of the problems mentioned in the state of the art. More specifically, the present invention describes a protective garment intended to protect the head of an athlete, comprising an annular band configured to surround the athlete's head from a front portion that covers the forehead of the athlete to a rear portion that covers a portion rear of the skull, where the front portion comprises, at least, an outer layer or an inner layer provided with an elastic or viscoelastic material adapted to deform under impact with a ball, thus making it possible to reduce the deformation of said ball during a header.
De esta manera, la prenda protectora no disminuye e incluso puede aumentar el impulso suministrado a dicho balón al deportista cabecear, puesto que, la prenda protectora se deforma en el impacto, reduciendo la deformación del balón durante el impacto, restituyendo así la energía del impacto al balón. In this way, the protective garment does not decrease and may even increase the impulse supplied to said ball to the athlete heading, since the protective garment deforms on impact, reducing the deformation of the ball during impact, thus restoring the impact energy. To the ball.
La capa exterior puede estar texturizada de tal manera que aumenta la fricción con el balón permitiendo así que dicho balón no resbale por la superficie y se devuelva con más velocidad y control. En una realización preferente, la prenda protectora comprende, además, una porción superior unida a la banda anular, dicha porción superior provista de una pluralidad de cintas adaptadas para proteger la zona parietal del cráneo. The outer layer can be textured in such a way as to increase friction with the ball, thus allowing the ball not to slip across the surface and to be returned with more speed and control. In a preferred embodiment, the protective garment further comprises an upper portion attached to the annular band, said upper portion provided with a plurality of tapes adapted to protect the parietal area of the skull.
En una realización preferente, la prenda protectora comprende una única capa de material elástico o viscoelástico adaptada para absorber el impacto. In a preferred embodiment, the protective garment comprises a single layer of elastic or viscoelastic material adapted to absorb impact.
Alternativamente, la prenda protectora puede estar dotada de tres o más capas provistas de distintos materiales con distinta elasticidad y rigidez. Alternatively, the protective garment can be provided with three or more layers provided with different materials with different elasticity and stiffness.
Ventajosamente, la porción superior comprende una configuración mallada o de tipo “panal de abeja” provista de una pluralidad de celdas unidas a la pluralidad de cintas, de manera que al cabecear el balón el impacto se distribuye a través de dichas celdas. Advantageously, the upper portion comprises a mesh or "honeycomb" type configuration provided with a plurality of cells joined to the plurality of ribbons, so that when the ball is headed, the impact is distributed through said cells.
La banda anular puede estar dotada de una pluralidad de protuberancias configuradas para aumentar el contacto con el balón y añadir, además, un efecto al balón tras cabecear. Dichas protuberancias permiten aumentar el tiempo de contacto con el balón, aportando una mayor precisión en el cabezazo. Preferentemente, dichas protuberancias están localizadas en la porción frontal y en unas porciones laterales, ya que éstas son las zonas de contacto más frecuentes del deportista con el balón. The annular band may be provided with a plurality of protrusions configured to increase contact with the ball and further add a spin to the ball after heading. These protrusions allow to increase the contact time with the ball, providing greater precision in the header. Preferably, said protrusions are located in the front portion and in some lateral portions, since these are the most frequent contact areas of the athlete with the ball.
Asimismo, en una realización preferente la banda anular puede estar dotada de una pluralidad de orificios para favorecer la sudoración del deportista. Alternativamente la banda anular puede estar confeccionada con un tejido que absorbe esta sudoración para que no caiga a los ojos o cara sin necesidad de la pluralidad de orificios. Likewise, in a preferred embodiment, the annular band can be provided with a plurality of holes to promote perspiration for the athlete. Alternatively, the annular band can be made of a fabric that absorbs this perspiration so that it does not fall on the eyes or face without the need for the plurality of holes.
Ventajosamente, la banda está dimensionada para presentar una flexibilidad relativa substancialmente igual o similar a la del balón en el momento del impacto, de manera que se excita una forma modal de flexión circunferencial en la prenda protectora que permite la deformación elástica del material de la capa exterior restituyendo así la energía del impacto al balón. Dicha deformación puede ser en una capa exterior o una capa interior de la prenda protectora. De esta forma se consigue que la carga del impacto excite una forma modal local, que permita la deformación elástica del material en la zona del impacto, para que este pueda restituir la energía del impacto, como un trampolín, al balón. Advantageously, the band is dimensioned to present a relative flexibility substantially equal to or similar to that of the ball at the moment of impact, so that a circumferential bending modal shape is excited in the protective garment that allows the elastic deformation of the material of the layer. exterior, thus restoring the energy of the impact to the ball. Said deformation can be in an outer layer or an inner layer of the protective garment. In this way, it is achieved that the impact load excites a local modal shape, which allows the elastic deformation of the material in the impact area, so that it can restore the impact energy, like a trampoline, to the ball.
Esta frecuencia propia local de la prenda protectora se obtiene en fase de dimensionamiento mediante un análisis modal determinando los modos de flexión circunferenciales en la zona del impacto. Estos se conocen como modos de “hoop”. Dichos modos de excitación vendrán determinados por la rigidez o elasticidad de los materiales utilizados en las distintas porciones y capas interiores y exteriores de la prenda protectora, así como por la configuración geométrica de la prenda, grosor, entre otros parámetros, y puede ser dimensionado mediante un análisis modal, haciendo coincidir las flexibilidades relativas del balón con las de la prenda protectora en el momento del impacto. This local natural frequency of the protective garment is obtained in the dimensioning phase by means of a modal analysis determining the circumferential bending modes in the impact zone. These are known as "hoop" modes. Said modes of excitation will be determined by the rigidity or elasticity of the materials used in the different portions and inner and outer layers of the protective garment, as well as by the geometric configuration of the garment, thickness, among other parameters, and can be dimensioned by a modal analysis, matching the relative flexibilities of the ball with those of the protective garment at the moment of impact.
Adicionalmente, la prenda protectora puede estar provista en la porción superior de una superficie exterior superior a la de la porción trasera, permitiendo así aumentar la superficie de contacto con el balón al cabecear. Additionally, the protective garment can be provided in the upper portion with an outer surface greater than that of the rear portion, thus allowing to increase the contact surface with the ball when heading.
Ventajosamente, la banda puede disponer de una capa interior dotada de un material de mayor rigidez que el material elástico o viscoelástico de la capa exterior dispuesta hacia la superficie exterior, aumentando así la rigidez y la protección de la prenda protectora en ajustada al cráneo, y permitiendo simultáneamente que la zona de contacto -capa exterior- - sea deformada por un material de mayor elasticidad que aquel utilizado en la capa interior. Advantageously, the band can have an inner layer provided with a material of greater rigidity than the elastic or viscoelastic material of the outer layer arranged towards the outer surface, thus increasing the rigidity and protection of the protective garment in tight fitting to the skull, and simultaneously allowing the contact zone -outside layer- to be deformed by a material of greater elasticity than that used in the inner layer.
En una realización preferente la porción frontal de la banda comprende un alojamiento abierto que comprende una cámara y la banda anular comprende un segundo alojamiento que comprende a su vez una batería que está conectada y alimenta dicha cámara. In a preferred embodiment the front portion of the band comprises an open housing comprising a chamber and the annular band comprises a second housing which in turn comprises a battery that is connected to and powers said chamber.
